ICMI partners with Preferred Sales Agency in 5 state area
Feb 20, 2018

Preferred Sales Agency (PSA) is partnering with Reinhausen across a five-state area to provide product representation in Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota.

PSA currently provides representation to utility product manufacturers across the southern United States virtually from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. Their 22-person outside sales team is supported by 10 inside sales people.

Charley Harwell, Central Area Sales Manager, commented “their customer relationships are very well established and they are one of the few representative companies ICMI considered that provides full state coverage in Texas. We are excited about the opportunity to partner with PSA in these areas.”

He added “We think this reorganization will help customers better understand the role of ICMI and the representative network in the Reinhausen group of companies structure. It should eliminate some customer confusion we encountered now that the former ICMI sales managers have the same business card as Reinhausen Manufacturing in Tennessee. It was always a common customer and sales effort but the segregation created some confusion. This is a positive development.”
